American Woolly

American Woolly

Hook - Mustad #94831 Size: 6 XL
Thread - Black, 6/0
Body - Black Hackle, Brown Hackle, Black Hackle, palmered. Tied as tight and heavy as possible. Trim to resemble a woolly worm caterpillar. Trim it flat or tapered on the ends.

Tying Tips: Easy to tie. Be generous with the head cement.

Fishing Tips: This is a great pattern for late fall. Bump it off a log or stone. Cast it in
near the shore or in any pocket waters. Big trout love it ! Can also be used
for pan fish tied in smaller sizes or for bass in larger sizes. Trim the bottom
of the hackle for a lower profile.

Historical Note: For years I’ve found these Woolly Worms (Pyrrharctia isabella) along the
banks of American rivers. My fascination with caterpillars lead me to develop a
high floating dry fly that closely resembles the ‘Woolly’ and that the fish just
can’t refuse.
